OUTLINECheeger-Goresky-MacPherson’s conjecture andMacPherson’s conjecture.

Setting and main problem.

The Laplace-Beltrami operator on compact complexspaces.

Hodge-Kodaira Laplacian on possibly singular surfaces.

Cheeger-Goresky-MacPherson’s Conjecture, 1982

Let V ⊂ CPn be a projective variety and let g be the Kahlermetric induced on reg(V ), the regular part of V , by theFubini-Study metric of CPn.

Then:dk ,max = dk ,min

Hk2 (reg(V ),g) ∼= ImHk (V ,R)

and the previous isomorphism induces a Hodge decompositionof ImHk (V ,R) in terms of L2-Dolbeault-cohomology groups.

This conjecture is still largely open.

Let V ⊂ CPn be a projective variety and let g be the Kahlermetric induced on reg(V ), the regular part of V , by theFubini-Study metric of CPn.Then:

First result

The first result toward these questions is the following:

TheoremLet (X ,h) be a compact and irreducible Hermitian complexspace of complex dimension v. Then we have the followingproperties:

D(dmax) = D(dmin) ( L2-Stokes theorem on functions)Assume that v > 1. We have a continuous inclusion

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h).

Assume that v > 1. We have a compact inclusion

D(dmax) → L2(reg(X ),h).

First result

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h).

First result

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h).

Sketch of the proof

D(dmax) = D(dmin)

This follows as a consequence of the following properties:

(reg(X ),h) is parabolic, ∃ φn ⊂ Lipc(reg(X ),h) such that0 ≤ φn ≤ 1, φn → 1, ‖dφn‖L2Ω1(reg(X),h) → 0.

Density result: L∞(reg(X ),h) ∩ C∞(reg(X )) ∩ D(dmax) isdense in D(dmax)

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h)

This follows by the existence of an open cover V1, ...,Vmsuch that

Local Sobolev embedding holds on (reg(Vi),h|reg(Vi ))

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(Vi),h|reg(Vi ))

Sketch of the proof

D(dmax) = D(dmin)

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h)

D(dmax) → L2v

Sketch of the proof

D(dmax) = D(dmin)

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h)

D(dmax) → L2v

Sketch of the proof

D(dmax) = D(dmin)

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h)

D(dmax) → L2v

The LSE follows by using a local quasi-isometric Kahler modelof h|reg(Vi ) and the Michael-Simon’s Sobolev inequality:(∫

0 ≤ λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

as k →∞.

Finally e−t∆F : L2(reg(X ),h)→ L2(reg(X ),h) istrace class and for some C > 0 and 0 < t ≤ 1 its trace satisfies

Tr(e−t∆F ) ≤ Ct−v (0.5)

0 ≤ λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

as k →∞. Finally e−t∆F : L2(reg(X ),h)→ L2(reg(X ),h) istrace class and for some C > 0 and 0 < t ≤ 1 its trace satisfies

Tr(e−t∆F ) ≤ Ct−v (0.5)

Sketch of the proof

Let k(t , x , y) be the heat kernel corresponding to e−t∆F . Then:

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h) =⇒ k(t , x , y) ≤ Bt−v

for (x , y) ∈ reg(X )× reg(Y ), 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, B > 0,

k(t , x , y) ≤ Bt−v and volh(reg(X )) <∞ =⇒ e−t∆F is traceclass and Tr(e−t∆F ) ≤ Ct−v for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1 and C > 0,

=⇒∆F has discrete spectrum and lim infλkk1v > 0 as k →∞.

Note: ∆F has discrete spectrum follows directly by the compactinclusion D(dmax) → L2(reg(X ),h).

Other consequences: e−t∆F is ultracontractive for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1, feigenfunction of ∆F then f ∈ L∞(reg(X ),h).

Sketch of the proof

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h) =⇒ k(t , x , y) ≤ Bt−v

D(dmax) → L2v

v−1 (reg(X ),h) =⇒ k(t , x , y) ≤ Bt−v

Some remarks

h is not required to be Kahler,No assumptions on sing(X ),No assumptions on dim(X )

If h is Kahler then the eigenvalues λk of ∆F∂

lim infλkk−1v > 0

and e−t∆F∂ : L2(reg(X ),h)→ L2(reg(X ),h) is trace class with

Tr(e−t∆F∂ ) ≤ Bt−v

for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1. This follows simply by the fact that ∆ = 2∆∂ onC∞(reg(X )) and therefore

∆F = 2∆F∂

on L2(reg(X ),h).

Some remarks

for 0 ≤ t ≤ 1.

This follows simply by the fact that ∆ = 2∆∂ onC∞(reg(X )) and therefore

Application to possibly singular complex surfaces

Let (X ,h) be a compact and irreducible Hermitian complexspace of complex dimension 2.

Let q = 0, ...,2 and consider the Hodge-Kodaira Laplacian

∆∂,2,q : Ω2,q(reg(X ))→ Ω2,q(reg(X ))

Let us introduce the following self-adjoint extension, called theabsolute extension

∆∂,2,q,abs : Ω2,q(reg(X ))→ Ω2,q(reg(X ))

∆∂,2,q,abs := ∂t2,q,min ∂2,q,max + ∂2,q−1,max ∂

∆∂,2,q,abs are the Laplacians associated to the Hilbert complex

(L2Ω2,q(reg(V ),h), ∂2,q,max)

that is the maximal extension of the Dolbeault complex

(Ω2,qc (reg(V ), ∂2,q)

Combining our previous results with a theorem proved by J.Ruppenthal in 2014 we have the following result:

(Ω2,qc (reg(V ), ∂2,q)

TheoremLet (X ,h) be a compact and irreducible Hermitian complexspace of complex dimension 2. Then, for each q = 0, ...,2, theoperator

∆∂,2,q,abs : L2Ω2,q(reg(V ),h)→ L2Ω2,q(reg(V ),h)

has discrete spectrum.

Assume now that h is Kahler. Let

0 ≤ λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

be the eigenvalues of ∆∂,2,q,abs. Then we have the followingasymptotic inequality

lim infλkk−12 > 0

0 ≤ λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

be the eigenvalues of ∆∂,2,q,abs.

Then we have the followingasymptotic inequality

0 ≤ λ1 ≤ λ2 ≤ ... ≤ λk ≤ ...

be the eigenvalues of ∆∂,2,q,abs. Then we have the followingasymptotic inequality

as k →∞.

Sketch of the proof

The case (2,0) follows by F. B. 2016.

The case (2,2) follows by the results previously described.In particular

∆∂,2,2,abs ∗ c = ∗ c ∆F∂

The case (2,1) follows in this way:

Thanks to Ruppenthal we know that ker(∆∂,2,1,abs) is finitedimensional and that im(∆∂,2,1,abs) is closed.Therefore ∆∂,2,1,abs has discrete spectrum if and only if theinclusion

D(∆∂,2,1,abs) ∩ im(∆∂,2,1,abs) → L2Ω2,1(reg(X ),h)

is compact. Now this last point follows as a consequence of thenext proposition

Sketch of the proof

The case (2,0) follows by F. B. 2016.The case (2,2) follows by the results previously described.In particular

∆∂,2,2,abs ∗ c = ∗ c ∆F∂

Sketch of the proof

∆∂,2,2,abs ∗ c = ∗ c ∆F∂

Thanks to Ruppenthal we know that ker(∆∂,2,1,abs) is finitedimensional and that im(∆∂,2,1,abs) is closed.

Therefore ∆∂,2,1,abs has discrete spectrum if and only if theinclusion

Sketch of the proof

∆∂,2,2,abs ∗ c = ∗ c ∆F∂

PropositionLet Hk , k = 1,2,3 be separable Hilbert spaces and letTk : Hk → Hk+1 be unbounded, densely defined and closedoperators such that

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

im(Tk ) is closed, k = 1,2.Let

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

Then the following properties are equivalent:D(T ∗1 T1) ∩ im(T ∗1 T1) → H1 andD(T2 T ∗2 ) ∩ im(T2 T ∗2 ) → H3 are both compactinclusions.

D(∆T ) ∩ im(∆T ) → H2 is a compact inclusion

Since we know that both ∆∂,2,0,abs and ∆∂,2,2,abs have discretespectrum the proof is complete.

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

im(Tk ) is closed, k = 1,2.

Let∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

Then the following properties are equivalent:

D(T ∗1 T1) ∩ im(T ∗1 T1) → H1 andD(T2 T ∗2 ) ∩ im(T2 T ∗2 ) → H3 are both compactinclusions.

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .

im(T1) ⊂ ker(T2)

∆T := T2∗ T2 + T1 T ∗1 .
